Wow.. Hello!

I've been browsing these forums for a bit now, and I think I'm feeling confident enough to say hello.

So about me briefly- I'm a 21 year old female. No children... unless cats count. :) I'm here to gain some focus for my weightloss and fitness goals. I've been hesitant to say anything.. because I'm scared of people saying "Oh.. why is she here?"

I'm at 128 at the moment. It may not seem like a lot.. well, in reality I guess it isn't a lot. But its enough to make me feel uncomfortable enough to search for weightloss and fitness forums/websites. In highschool, I was on average at about 115. I would like to get back to there. I guess I'm scared that people won't take me seriously. I'm not sick.. 115 is a healthy weight for someone of my size (4 ft 11.), and technically I'm overweight at the moment. More importantly though, I want to feel good abut myself. I have a pretty bad self image- and I'm hoping losing a few (well about 13) will help. The lowest weight to stay within healthy at my size is 97, so 115 is a realistic goal I think!

More importantly than losing some weight.. I want to be healthy. I want to have some energy. I want a little self discipline.. and I want the confidence gained from attaining a goal I have set for myself.

Alright, a bit longer than planned but that's me! I really look forward to meeting new people here and making some friends! I just hope I'm not all alone :)

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a healthy weight. I wouldn't worry too much about people who look at one number and decide that its unhealthy. Your weight is only part of the formula.

You could also just discuss your weight loss in terms of how much you want to lose.
 
Of course cats count! lol I have one 5yr old, Black and white, Persian-mix named Sophia.


Welcome to the forum and good luck!
